hey guys how the hell do you get to the hose in the heads,it sits so far in ,its hard to get a pair of pliers to get the clamp off,any tricks?also is the front line 1/4"? im just wondering how i would get the old clamps off and tighten up the new clamps.... thanks jim

good question delly I was thinking the same thing. Any input on that from those who have done it would be great. I want to get the hose from the rear head away from the backing plate. I don't follow why a filter would be any use on the end of the rear hose either rather than a puke can as the rear head hose blows. Can someone also please confirm the sizes of the hoses needed for the Super Sidewinder please for front and rear hoses?

I posted these a while back but in case you didn't see them here they are again.

The bowl screws are the slot type which I really don't like and can be changed to SHCS they are 10-24 X 3/4 (3 ea.) and 10-24 X 2 3/8 (1 ea.)
If you remove the Bowl plug (brass plug on bottom of bowl) with a small clear container under it you will catch all the gas and be able to see if you have any dirt etc that may be in your carb.

Lee...I believe the rear breather hose is 3/8 and the front breather hose is 7/32......here is the post that Gas put up....

what about make the motor use allot of oil? I haven't rode the bike in months, but I just got back from the key west poker run. 230 miles each way. when i got there i was a quart low. people were telling me that i was blowing allot of smoke out of the exhaust. could that valve being switched do all of that or do you think I have anither problem? ( valve seals?)
